What is target platform for archetypes

I'd like to see us support both servlet and EE containers with our
archetypes at generation time. We'd build in the archetype conditional
asking the user if the generated project should target EE or servlet
containers. This should also be done in our Forge plugin.
Most users are targeting a single container with their app. Taking a
profile approach leaves a lot of unnecessary clutter in their pom.xml.
whereas asking at archetype evaluation time we can trim the unnecessary
pieces out of the pom.xml.
We can proceed with this for the simpleapp archetype, but we will have
problems introducing this approach to the kitchensink-rf archetype, as
that is tied heavily to the downstream jsf quickstart and archetype.
Let's leave the kitchensink archetype targeting only EE containers for
now.
